Swivel Seats for Ford E450

[Ron Franks]

Has anyone ever converted their factory passenger or driver seat to a swivel seat?

E450 and would like to convert the seats to swivel seats if possible. Hopefully it can be done with just a base change.

Converted both seats in my 05 Lexington 255DS. Works.....

Who's brackets did you use? What was the approximate cost? Same bracket for both sides?

there are at least 2 sellers, but I think they source them from the same place

RV Seat Bases,Ford,Sprinter,Chevy,Dodge Seat Bases

the 2 bases are different. if you decide to get both, check their shipping; one doubles up on the shipping because its 2 bases in 2 boxes and the other didn't.

I paid $504 including shipping, the other one would have been $35+ more for the 2 sets. it ain't cheap, but worth it to me....

it's always interesting how different people have different thoughts and ideas.

Y'all want regular seat bases switched to swivel-type and I have factory swivel bases yet can't figure out when we would ever want to swivel ours.

They even gave us booster cushions to make the sitting height normal when swiveled around. They are sitting in plastic bags in the attic.

When camping, we leave the seats facing forward and slide and tilt them all the way forward to make more room at the front of the rv.

I guess we'll keep them for resale value for when and if we sell the unit, but it is humorous to me.

Go figure.

to me, swiveling the seats is a necessity; the Lexington only has the sofa for seating and 'it' is not very comfortable (especially considering the 'padding' is about 15 years old) and is not very practical for comfort or company.

being able to turn both seats around (and reclining to boot...) provides additional seating using what is essentially wasted space that is not used except going down the road.

Wish I had the electric adjustable driver seat never used the swivel.

now THAT, I'd give real money for. Oh and I'd like mine to be some kind of an air or spring suspension seat as well. Like the big boys.

Stay safe and Happy Camping!

Huumaans. You can never please them.[emoji41] Those with hair shave it off. Those who are bald wish they had hair. Amazing. I converted the passenger seat to swivel. Later ditched the jackknife couch for reclining theater seats. Now I don't use the swivel as much.
